Solutions for Living and Working in an Aging Society

The interdisciplinary research center FUTURE AGING aims to bring assistive technologies and inclusive architecture into practical application.

The members research on and develop user-friendly, socio-technical solutions for living and working in an aging society. The focus on these solutions involves the affected users, professionals, management levels and other interest groups.

The FUTURE AGING research center is looking forward to exciting topics and projects with you!

Feel free to share your ideas with us.

The Research Center Introduces Itself

A broad spectrum of methods oriented towards participation, accessibility and inclusion is used for the integration of the respective target groups.

A wide variety of laboratories are available for testing and trying out the socio-technical solutions:

Aims and Objectives of the Research Center FUTURE AGING

Research topics are the development and testing of assistive technologies, robotics and technology-supported services for independent living, living and working - also in the case of functional loss/impairments. Acceptance and ethical issues play a central role, as do legal challenges and barrier-free design of the living environment including inclusive architecture.
